We take this time to Honor the Medicine of Water. As Native People we know "Mní wičhóni" "Water is Life". All living creatures share being made up of water. We spend 9 months growing in the sacred waters of our Mother's womb and that water gushes forth to announce our birth.

    When our Ancestors left Egypt the whole Red Sea of Water stood in the way of their escape but Hashem parted the water to save our lives, the used that water to conquer our enemies.

     When we wandered through the desert, Our Ancestor Miriam preformed a miracle to provide us with Mni to drink to keep us alive and we pour a cup now to honor her. 

We take time now to rinse our hands in fresh water three times to Honor the Medicine of Water.
